does anybody know of any spray cans that match stargate red I have tried different rollers but did not get good results I keep getting lines where the roller goes from one spot overlays the next layer and to much orange peel even if I use a fine roller so I would like to try spray paint ?
 
Look in the yellow pages for local auto paint dealers. In my city there is a place that sells auto paint and supplies and they can custom mix and can spray paint. I hear some larger Napa parts stores and possibly Lowes do this also.

Not a spray can, but I bought quart can RustOleum oil based 'Regal Red' at Lowes. I thinned it with acetone and sprayed it through a gun. Kinda hard to see, but this is a chunk of the original cabinet that I peeled off (and reglued later) to match, with a dab of the paint on it and dried. Near perfect match:

with the other colors just being black & yellow can't you just use a good rattle can paint, I think Phet did on his Moon Patrol resto with great results

I used Rustoleum Sun Yellow in a rattle can, but I sprayed the black through spray gun, bought it in a quart. I think the yellow I used is really close, but probably a bit deeper yellow than factory, but not by much.
 
Joey, your Stargate looks awesome I hope to one day get around to repainting mine and hopefully it'll come close to looking like yours.
